@Wi/51eme@ scribed, may be briefly noted as follows: First, an integralfont matrix block, whichis con structed on a. novel principle, first,with a View to' perfection of matrix and type-face and precision in thelocation of the matrix on the block and the type-face on the' type-body, and, second, with a.view to compactness and lightness of thematrix-block, for facility of movement; and which block also has thematrices arranged,n a bi-factored principle,into rows in two directions,for selection by at'woway movement of the block, and grouped accordingte running width of matrix or typeface, for convenience in control fromacommon source with the variable type-body mold; second, 'the 'variable-ty-pe -1 body mold, the

#throat ot which is variable, runningwise of the type, liya variablyinte'rceptible throatv controlling plunger, under tension to assume anextreme position; and which mold is, th-,

. erwies, of novel construction, ,with a'view of the, distantseparationv of thetnelting pot and y se 'type-body'mold withitsconnected'mech'anism, and the transmission ofk the molten metal fromthe distant melting pot to the throat ofthe'fmo'ld, bya tube closed intoan electric circuit; whereby the molten metal i's delivered tothe moldthroat, at a constantvand the ex act'te'xnperature required for the bestresults in the cast, and whereby, all bad effects, which' "would,otherwise, be produced by the necessary proximityof the meltingpotonthelmold feinte and its connected parts are entirely obviated.Thisi'featureis described and broadly claimed in mypendingapplicatiomerial No. 463,303, filed February 23, 1893, entitledapi paratns'for casting-molten materials; fth, a reliable justifier,constructed o'n a novel prin ci ple, which is capable of beingautomatically set to control the variable spacing mechanism, at wordspaces for` any spacing required to'jnstify the line; sixth,'therelative arrangenient of the electric connections andthe, representativecontrolling strip, for co-operatien to control the-operative .pa rts ofthe machine; seventh, the special devices for'insuring a positive andexact feed to' the controlling strip, including means forv makinglthe'feed needles 'always operate on slack sections of the strip;eighth, a simpleconstruction and arrangement of the line deliverydevices and the devices for setting thejustitier.

Other features and sub-features of the construction will appearin thedetailed description.

1t may further be noted, that the repres'entativ'e controlling strip isfed to this machine lcom-posing machine come first into eect on thecasting machine, thereby turning out the vduce justified lines of type.

type set up in line from the right toward -the left or from the end ofthe line backward to the front. v

With the foregoing statements in mind, it will be easy to follow andunderstand the detailed description which will now be given.

ne pointedv nipple-end c; which nipple is ocated in position todischarge directly into the mouth ofthe type-body mold. The nipple endc4 of said tube terminates in and 'flush withthe top surface of acontact yoke c5, of relatively large mass and corresponding lowresist-ance, as compared with the said nipple c4. The contactyoke cisrigidly secured to and insu-lated from-a combined keeper and clampingplate ce (s ee Fig. 9) having slot and screw connections, as shown atc", with thel front face of the pillow block as, whereby it is'permitteda limited up and down movement. The tube c? is provided with' a ange orcollar o8, 'rigidly' secured thereto, which is clamped between andinsulated fromthe legs of the contact yoke c5 and. the .top ofthe'angularly e 'tended headv of the' plate` c6;`which cons 'ructionserves to securely hold the tube and nipple, in .their proper workingpositions. and permits `the tube and contact yoke to be moved with thesliding plate c6. The tube' has suflcient spring, to` permit of thislimited vertical movement 'wit-l1- the plate c6. Wires cyanideto connectthe melting pote', the tube c, together with the metal therein, andcontactyoke c5, into an electric circuit from a dynamo c, or other'source of supply, adapted to furnish a quan tity or low tension current.Y The' melting potc is supported on the insulated bed-section aand isentirely insulated from the bled-seotion a and all the parts supportedthereby, and is incased by asuitable housing ou". The current suppliedfrom ,the dynamo c, or other source, may, through a suitable converter(not shown), b e accurately gaged in quantity for any desired degree ofheat. Hence, ifl the moltenmetal comes from the melting pot imo thecouductingftube at too low a temperature, it will be heated to therequired degree by the current; andii the metal comes into theconducting tube too hot, itsjem'perature will be lowered to the pointpermitted by theL current. The meltingpot may, therefore, befas farremoved from the nipple or casting point, as maybe desired to obviaterthe bad effects ou the mold mechanism; while the 'molten metal may -bedelivered fr om'the nipple, at anyexaet temperature found desirable forthe best results in the cast. The diierenee between the relative Ymasses of tlie nipple cand the contact-yoke o5, is so great that thenipple tip may be redhot oratany temperature desired, while thecontact-yoke c5 will be' cool', or remain at so low a temperature as notto impart any objectionable amount of heat to the mold section, whichcomes in contact therewith. The break or jump in temperature, ybetweenthe nipple and the contact-yoke, may be madeas marked as thatb'etweeuthe filament andthe terminals of an incandescent lamp. The topsurface of the con tact-yoke c5 forms the bottom Wall of the body-moldthxoat, 'as will later appear. The important result of this Velectricfeature, for conducting the molten metal, is an increase in the speed ofthe casting and au improved quality in the type, enabling the type tobe' cast Without gates and with so little Aburr as nottol requiredressing.

The metal is forced from the melting pot bya pump which maybe of anysuitableconstruction; but which is shown4 as composed of a well cA2 withinlets c13 controlled by a 'gravity valve e14 riding on fixed guide-pinsc15;"a cylinder c extending upward from the top plate ofthe well, andfitted with a plunger c1?. When the plunger cuis raised, the metal willybeforced into 'the well by atmospheric pressure, the gravity valve c14lowering to its limit on the pins C15. When -the plunger is lowered, thereaction from-the metal within the well, under the pressure from theplunger,

lvwill raise the gravity valve c14 and close the inlets c, therebypermitting the pressure from the plnn-ger to become effective to forcethe molten metal, inside the well, throuehwhe tube and nipple into themouth of the mold.

The'pump plunger c is connected by link C1B to one section of a rockerarm c, the two sectionsuf whioh are insulated from each other, as shown'at 020. The said rocker arm is rigidly secured to the left end of a longrocker rod 021, mounted in the bearings standards a7. The rocker-arm c19is subject to the action yof a strong spring 022 connecting the same toa. projection af from the left end of thebed-section a. Near its righthand end, the rocker rod 021 is provided with a camlever arm o23 withroll c24 subject to the ac, tion of a peripheral cam-surface c25, onvthe cam-wheel No. 1. The high part ot' the camsurface c25raises'thelever-arm c25, the rockerarm c19 and the pump plunger c, intotheir uppermost position, against the tension of the rertracting springc2?. ver roller c24 is permitted to fall to the lower or depressed partof the cam surface c25, the
